Abstract

A reading section ( 10 ) reads information recorded in an optical disk and outputs a read signal. A DSP ( 20 ) detects the read signal, and make it reproducible. An operational instruction recognizing section ( 51 ) recognizes an instruction for a specified position of the information. Then a display control section ( 54 ) makes a cue point position display section of a display section ( 130 ) display an instructed position. Because of this feature, the specified instructed position can be recognized easily and accurately.

Claims (40)

1. An information processing unit comprising:

a reading section for reading information recorded in a recording medium;

an information processing section for processing the information read by this reading section;

a positional instruction recognizing section for recognizing an instruction for a prespecified position in said information;

a change instruction recognizing section recognizing a change instruction to change a reproducing position of the information of the information processing section when a rotary operation is detected;

a processing control section for changing the reproducing position of the information processing section when the change instruction is recognized by the change instruction recognizing section; and

a display section for displaying an instructed position corresponding to the instructed information on a virtual orbit simulating a movement of the recording medium along a rotary operation direction of the change instruction recognizing section when the positional instruction is recognized by said positional instruction recognizing section,

wherein the display section provides a prespecified display along said virtual orbit, fixes the instructed position on said virtual orbit, and displays in the moving state a processing position along said virtual orbit,

wherein said virtual orbit includes a plurality of concentric virtual orbits, and

wherein, when the processing position and the instructed position are away from each other in a direction orthogonal to a circumferential direction of said virtual orbit, said display section displays said processing position and said instructed position in different display forms respectively.

2. The information processing unit according to claim 1 , wherein said prespecified position is a processing start position for starting processing of the information at the same position repetitively.

3. The information processing unit according to claim 1 , wherein said display section displays said processing position of the information according to the progress of processing by said information processing section, and displays, when an instruction for said prespecified position is recognized by said positional instruction recognizing section, said instructed position based on said processing position.

4. The information processing unit according to claim 1 , wherein the information recorded in said recording medium includes data and positional information for the data;

said display section displays said processing position of said data based on said positional information, and displays, when the instruction for said prespecified position is recognized by said positional instruction recognizing section, said instructed position based on said positional information for said processing position.

5. The information processing unit according to claim 1 , wherein said virtual orbit has a spiral form.

6. The information processing unit according to claim 1 , wherein said display section displays said processing position and said instructed position with different colors respectively.

7. The information processing unit according to claim 1 , wherein said display section blinks either one of said processing position and said instructed position.

8. A reproducing unit comprising:

said information processing unit according to claim 1 ; and

a reproducing section for fetching and reproducing the information processed by said information processing unit.

9. An information processing unit comprising:

a reading section for reading information recorded in a recording medium;

an information processing section for processing the information read by said reading section;

a positional instruction recognizing section for recognizing an instruction for a prespecified position in said information;

a change instruction recognizing section recognizing a change instruction to change a reproducing position of the information of said information processing section when a rotary operation is detected;

a processing control section for changing said reproducing position of the information processing section when the change instruction is recognized by said change instruction recognizing section; and

a display section for displaying an instructed position corresponding to the instructed information on a virtual orbit simulating a movement of said recording medium along a rotary operation direction of said change instruction recognizing section when said positional instruction is recognized by said positional instruction recognizing sections,

wherein said display section provides said prespecified display along said virtual orbit, fixes said processing position on said virtual orbit, and displays in the moving state the instructed position along said virtual orbit,

wherein said virtual orbit includes a plurality of concentric virtual orbits, and

wherein, when the processing position and said instructed position are away from each other in a direction orthogonal to a circumferential direction of said virtual orbit, said display section displays said processing position and said instructed position in different display forms respectively.

10. The information processing unit according to claim 9 , wherein said virtual orbit has a spiral form.

11. The information processing unit according to claim 9 , wherein said display section displays said processing position and said instructed position with different colors respectively.

12. The information processing unit according to claim 9 , wherein said display section blinks either one of said processing position and said instructed position.

13. The information processing unit according to claim 9 , wherein said prespecified position is a processing start position for starting processing of the information at the same position repetitively.

14. The information processing unit according to claim 9 , wherein said display section displays said processing position of the information according to the progress of processing by said information processing section, and displays, when the instruction for said prespecified position is recognized by said positional instruction recognizing section, said instructed position based on said processing position.

15. The information processing unit according to claim 9 , wherein the information recorded in said recording medium includes data and positional information for the data;

said display section displays said processing position of said data based on said positional information, and displays, when the instruction for the prespecified position is recognized by said positional instruction recognizing section, said instructed position based on said positional information for said processing position.

16. A reproducing unit comprising:

said information processing unit according to claim 9 ; and

a reproducing section for fetching and reproducing the information processed by said information processing unit.
